"High Stakes" by Andrew Wildman, along with its updated version which was also worked on by Stephen Baskerville and JP Bove

Wildman says of this print:

A version of this was originally used for BOTCON a number of years ago. While rummaging through the studio the pencil artwork appeared. Originally the pencils were coloured by me in Photoshop with no lines to try and give a CG effect. Since the publication of ReGeneration One it seemed like a good idea to get the talents of Stephen Baskerville and JP Bove onto this. And here is the result. A far nicer piece than the original version.

Thunderwing - Horizon Custom Machine

Machine: Thunderwing

Cauldron: Omicron

Class: Communication

Based on the prehistoric azdarchid pterosaur Hatzegopteryx, the Thunderwing is a massive, but peaceful, Communication Class machine, similar to the Tallneck. Its name comes from the booming flapping of its wings in the air. It covers vast distances via aerial travel, connecting the Tallneck communication system over barriers such as oceans, islands, mountains, and canyons. There are only twenty Thunderwings at one time, making them incredibly rare.

However, they are still seen regularly; despite being able to stay in the air for months at a time without landing, they take regular pit-stops at designated landing sites in their designated “territory” for maintenance by other Zero Dawn Machines. As one would expect, when nearby tribes witnessed such regular landings, Thunderwings quickly became significant to many cultures. In the Great Delta of the Quen, the landing of the local Thunderwing happens in their territory every four months, each day being a recognized holiday in the Quen calendar. In the Tenakth Clan Lands, the Thunderwing is revered as the most legendary of the Wings of the Ten, and the local machine will use the Arena as a landing site once a year.

The Thunderwing is very similar to that of a Tallneck. It has a massive set of muscles to support the immense weight of the head and radar dish, and when landed for maintenance, it will often patrol a small area. Similarly to its Communication Class sister, the Thunderwing cannot be damaged or overridden, but it does provide an ideal resting space for aerial mounts when flying. The main power source of the Thunderwing comes from the solar panel wings, but this is supplemented with emergency supplies of blaze during maintenance. In order to ease the weight of flying, when a Thunderwing encounters a favorable air current, it can use the sparkers on its wings to shock the muscles into stiffness, soaring on the current for miles.

This machine is created by me, and posted on March 15th, 2024! If you wish to use this machine or artwork in a project, please tag and credit me!

The idea that the essence of Primus within the matrix can be corrupted is very interesting. And the book does some interesting stuff with it down the line.

[pluralsword]

tempted to make a short fic out of this it would be funny.

also it kills us that three out of ten of these have harmed Arcee in awful scientist capacities in some way (Animated Shockwave with his interrogation techniques that involved taking her head apart, IDW1 Jhiaxus by being a transmedicalist shit instead of listening to her when it came to her gender affirming journey, and Flatline forcing her spark to power two other bodies), and she in turn mostly trashed them (while she did trash Prime Shockwave at least once iirc she didn't get the chance to take down Animated Shockwave, but sure gave him a hard time), and a fourth hasn't but was her arch-rival (Airachnid) before acquiring the mad scientist archetype in other continuities. Considering that Prime Ser-Ket is concurrent with Prime Airachnid and Arcee was on Cybertron for a long time in that continuity one has to wonder if she would have run into and fought Ser-Ket and the Forged before coming to Earth.... ....gaaaaaah feels like seeing the time knife is contemplating the transformers multiverse just the time knife, haha XD

also before you choose Shockwave as the winner because of IDW1 time travel shenanigans we want to point out there's a funny causal loop wherein that Shockwave's ideology originates from (and largely copies) Jhiaxus, who is maybe the only person he's shown any true loyalty to in the events leading up to Dark Cybertron. the counterpoint of course is that in Jhiaxus's opinion, Shockwave surpassed him by then in the sciences and he was but Shockwave's minion, so given that Shockwave is the only person Jhiaxus has ever truly cared for without also blatantly betraying, he'd probably just let Shockwave shoot him.

From Marvel's The Transformers (UK) issue #242

That moment when an Autobot leader who always puts his ideals over himself and an aspriring Decepticon leader who also always wants to do things the right way get into a skirmish XD It is so funny to me that they are literally on different sides of a War but both want it to be "fair." I love that Thunderwing just wants to be a good (!) leader so he's totally ready to accept failing his test LMAO And "You have more courage than sense!" is barely an insult at all, Optimus!

Here is the second part of my detective Unicron series, hope you like it! Anyway, the next part is on the way!

Previous part

Part two: True Evil

When Unicron was sitting on the bed in the hospital, looking at the bill with those numbers on it, something dawned on him.

"YOU DARE TO CHARGE FOR LIFE ITSELF?! HOW VILE IS THAT?" he yelled, his eyes snapping back onto the detective that took him here. "I thought I was evil, but this..." he said as the truth hit him like Primus's slap during their battles. Maybe the last Prime has been right all along. These vile creatures were his children. And this made him smirk with fondness he never felt before.

"Eric, look at me" she said, snapping her fingers in front of his face. She has been trying to interrogate him this past hour but he wouldn't say anything useful. Only ramble about humanity. "Your brother is dead, he was stabbed with the same knife that was in your back. You have to..."

"My brother is anything but dead" Unicron stated in a bored tone, even just the thought of Primus irking him.

"Let's start again for the last time" she said, taking a deep breath, her patience running thin. "Your brother was found dead. Do you have any idea who might have done it?"

"No, but I assure you, when I find out who put me into this disgusting thing, I will tear the fabric of their small mind into tiny pieces until their head explodes!" he exclaimed, standing up irritated. "I'M A GOD!"

She watched with a mix of frustration and fascination as "Eric" stormed around the hospital room, his voice echoing through the halls. She’d dealt with her fair share of eccentric people, but this guy took the cake. The way he spoke, the utter conviction in his voice. Like he actually believed he was some kind of deity.

"If he's doing this again, I'll swear I will arrest him and close the case with him being the killer" she whispered to herself as she buried her face into her hands.

"I heard that, you miserable insect," he sneered, tilting his head with an air of superiority. "Accuse me of your petty crimes again, and I will..."

"You will what?" she interrupted, pinning him with a sharp gaze. "You'll either end up in prison or the psych ward. Neither of them sounds like a thing for a god."

This made him halt in his tracks and think for a second. Like really think. Then he looked at her, seething with anger.

"I do what I please, when I please. If you dare to stand in my way, I will strike you down before you can think with that puny brain of yours" he stated, his voice having a dark and dangerous edge.

"You're right. Go ahead and do whatever you want" she said, standing up and walking out of the room. He was useless, so why should she waste more time and breath on him? But as she stepped out of the room, ready to buy some coffee and continue her work, real work, her phone rang. Pulling it out she noticed her boss's name and she knew to prepare for the worst.

"Sarah, is Eric Vance still with you?" was his first question. "We found a fingerprint on the knife that doesn't match either his or his brother's. The killer might be still at large."

"Just perfect," Sarah said, massaging her temples, annoyed. "And what do we want to do with him? Put him under witness protection?"

"Something like that" her boss said in an ominous voice and Sarah already had a knot in her stomach. "I need you to keep him at your flat until we solve this case."

"To keep him... AT MY FLAT? Are you insane? This guy has a god complex and I will not let him even come close to my niece. Molly is only ten!" Sarah rebutted immediately, not wanting this at all.

“Listen, Sarah,” her boss continued, his tone serious, “The founding was cut like years ago to our station, so we don’t have a choice. If the killer is still out there and knows Eric survived, he’s a target. We need him close, and you’re the only one I trust to keep an eye on him.”

"You're seriously asking me to babysit a guy who believes he's a god?" she protested, trying to keep her voice steady. "What if he decides to go on a rampage? Or worse, what if he decides to test those so-called powers on my furniture? Did you see the crime scene? It was a mess!"

"Miss Ryes, you are a police officer and I think you know how to subdue someone when it poses danger to their environment. Or did your training lack this aspect, officer?"

"No, sir" she sighed, her hands going into the pocket of her jacket. "But I'm sending the bills to the department if he decides to wreck chaos in my house."

"Good luck with making the department pay for anything" he said and ended the call.

"Good luck with making the department pay for anything" Sarah said to herself in a mocking voice, knowing well that no one will pay her. She barely gets money for the abysmal amount of overtime she has to do every month. "Whatever. I just need to figure out how to tell this to Molly..."

"And the insect returns" he simply stated as he noticed Sarah stepping back into the room while he was pacing in circles endlessly, trying to think.

"Okay Eric, we…" she started but he just cut her off.

"Unicron" he won't be called by any other name than his own.

"Okay, then Unicorn we have..." she said again as she rolled her eyes in annoyance.

"Unicron! Know the name of your god!" he screamed, looking like a fussy toddler to Sarah, then some god. And oh, the real God have mercy on this poor fool, because she certainly won't if he keeps up this attitude.

"Whatever you think your name is, I'm going to call you Eric. Now Eric, you're coming with me. I have things to do and Jesus, you're slowing me down" she said, grabbing his arm and pulling him out with her.

"Jesus?"

"Yeah, you know. The son of God" she said, lifting her eyebrow confused. How does a guy with a god complex not know about Jesus of all people?

"You mean Thunderwing*? What is it with him?" he sharply looked at her, confused why Thunderwing just came up. 

"Thunderwing?"

"Yes, the one you call Jesus is actually Thunderwing, my herald, you foolish mortal" he stated like this was a well known fact and Sarah is the stupid one for not knowing.

"Actually, I'm inclined to ask what kind of religion you are practicing, because I'm going to be honest with you for a sec. Thunderwing does sound way cooler than Jesus."

"I'm God. I am the religion" he simply said, putting his hands into the pocket of his jacket.

*For those who don't know Thunderwing is a character from Transformers: Prime - The Game. He is the direct creation of Unicron, making him the perfect analogy for Jesus.

Transformers: Mosaic - Fragments Mike Priest

wada sez: Alright, kicking things off for our week of scripts, it's Mike Priest! You should recall that he was a major contributor to the Beast Wars - Second Chances fanproject, but he also had a couple-dozen Mosaic strips to his name before that. Mike was kind enough to provide a sampling from his back-catalogue of unrealised scripts—apparently he had swathes of the things, but he seemed a little sheepish about the quality of most of the material, so this is just the stuff that actually entered production. We've had preliminary art and titles for a few of these, but these scripts have never been seen before outside of the Mosaic backchannels! Mike has also provided his own comments for most of these. Let's dive in!

"Direction" (Onslaught) w/ James Cox [2007-05-12 (file date), 2007-04-22, 2007-04-23, 2007-05-03, 2007-05-06, 2007-06-04]

wada sez: We actually do have some art for this one, by talented fanartist Blitz-Wing, best known in Transformers fandom for having his artwork stolen by TakaraTomy for their Sixshot reissue. I suspect the lineart on this was close to done, but Blitz alas couldn't find anything more than these scraps originally shared to deviantART.

(Open on extreme close-up of Onslaught’s face, specifically his visor.)

Text box- It has to be perfect.

Text box- It can’t be wrong.

Text box- This, my latest masterpiece.

(Next panel- a furious Onslaught pointing accusingly directly at you, the reader.)

ONSLAUGHT: Wrong! Wrong! Wrongwrongwrong!!!

(New panel- setting; the idea of some kind of training area, or “Danger Room”, if you will. Onslaught’s finger is pointing at his fellow Combaticons, Brawl, Swindle, Vortex, and Blast-Off. You get the idea that they have just completed a battle sim- there are smoking and twisted turrets here and there on the walls and a large combat droid in ruins on the ground laid out in the middle of the four Combaticons.)

ONSLAUGHT: Fliers- you deviated from your established attack run! And ground support, you weren’t supposed to flank until 8.6 kliks into the exercise!

(Next panel, Onslaught turns his back to his troops, outstretching his arms to the heavens in frustration as Swindle and Vortex share an exasperated look.)

SWINDLE: (Aside, to Vortex, annoyed) You know, we DO have names…

ONSLAUGHT: (In the background, arms outstretched skyward) Primus, SEND ME SOLDIERS!

(Next panel- Onslaught whirls around and clenches his fist.)

ONSLAUGHT: From the top! And this time try to not embarrass yourselves!

Text box- It has to be perfect.

Text box- It can’t be wrong.

"Safe" (Thunderwing) w/ Grimlock79 [2007-05-16 (file date), 2008-02-13, 2008-02-13]

wada sez: Again, we have a tiny bit of artwork for this one, but apparently the artist didn't understand the brief, and drew Mike's script across four pages. These were then condensed down into a single, incomprehensible page which bears no resemblance to the script. Mike recalls that this was the second strip he ever submitted.

(Open in blackness. We become aware that Thunderwing (inner robot/non-Pretender) is present. Close-up- he appears nervous…paranoid.)

THUNDERWING: Where am I?

(We pull out to show that he is floating alone in an infinite limbo of blackness.)

THUNDERWING: (Small word bubble as we get the impression he’s utterly alone, wherever he is.) Am…am I safe?

(We pull out of the darkness; as we catch a gleam of piercing light which becomes the blazing optics of Thunderwing’s “Stormbringer” Pretender shell. In the next panel, we see Pretender Thunderwing, wreathed in the flames of his destroyed laboratory, and holding a gutted and charred Decepticon in one hand. Another unidentifiable Decepticon stands before Thunderwing in awe and horror.)

DECEPTICON: Thunderwing, what have you done? What have you DONE???

(Thunderwing roars as energy pours from its blazing optics and mouth.)

Text box- Am I finally safe?

(This scene is a fleshing out of the brief burst of flashbacks Thunderwing had in Stormbringer # 4 upon landing on Cybertron’s surface. Use it for reference as far as the two unidentified Decepticons who encounter him.)

"The Least Likely" w/ Casey Coller [2007-07-21]

Mike sez: "This script is way too long for one page and I almost vaguely remember being requested to write it by someone, maybe one of the editors. Someone wanted a Goldbug story, cuz I'm not sure it was me. I threw Sunstreaker in here cuz I love writing him (me and HdE certainly had a Mosaic or two of Jerkass Sunstreaker) The ending is very "Martin Fisher" on-the-nose."

(Open on some deserted alley in a dangerous part of Cybertron. A large, scary-looking Decepticon (just a generic, unnamed guy preferably), is bullying a much smaller, weaker-looking Autobot (also a generic, unnamed guy). The cruel Decepticon grabs the small Autobot by the neck and holds him up, smirking.)

AUTOBOT: (Terrified) Pluh-please! I’m just a courier! I-I can’t fight!

DECEPTICON: (Cruel smile) That doesn’t matter. You’re an Autobot and you got in my way.

DIALOGUE BOX (GOLDBUG’S NARRATION): I’ve seen it happen a thousand times.

(The Decepticon roughly throws the Autobot to the ground.)

DIALOGUE BOX: Heck, it’s happened to ME a thousand times.

(We see a flashback panel that is exactly in the same style as the previous panel of the Decepticon throwing the Autobot to the ground, except this time it is Sunstreaker (in place of the Decepticon) shoving Bumblebee (in place of the nameless Autobot) aside. The parallel between the two scenes is evident.)

SUNSTREAKER: (Disgusted look on his face) Out of my way, half-pint.

(Next panel, the Decepticon is pointing a gun downward at the terrified smaller Autobot.)

DIALOGUE BOX: And I’ll never stand for it again.

DECEPTICON: Any last words, short-stuff?

GOLDBUG: (Off-panel) LEAVE HIM ALONE.

(The Decepticon whirls around to see Goldbug standing at the end of the alley, small in stature, but totally collected and calm. The Decepticon smirks and turns his attention to the newcomer. Goldbug looks up into the larger Transformer’s face as the Decepticon looks down into his optics.)

DECEPTICON: (Menacingly) Alright, hero. You can be first then.

GOLDBUG: (Not flinching at the threat, but tilts his head in an amused manner) Really? I’m touched.

(Snarling, the Decepticon tosses his gun aside and reaches for Goldbug, but the smaller Autobot deftly ducks under the Decepticon’s reach.)

DIALOGUE BOX: They always make the same mistake. The mistake I used to make.

(The Decepticon swings a backhand at Goldbug, but he ducks it again with ease and moves in close to his opponent.)

DIALOGUE BOX: They assume that strength and size of body is what matters most. And they couldn’t be more wrong.

(Goldbug leaps up and grabs onto his opponent’s neck in a chokehold and manages to shift the Decepticon’s weight so the larger Transformer begins toppling forward.)

DIALOGUE BOX: It’s he who has the greater determination that wins the day. Prime taught me that.

(The Decepticon keels over with his head in Goldbug’s hold and face-plants violently into the ground. He won’t be getting up for awhile. Goldbug stands and dusts his hands off as the other smaller Autobot looks upon him with a mix of shock and admiration.)

DIALOGUE BOX: But there was one thing I learned by myself…

AUTOBOT: You-you beat him! But how-?

GOLDBUG: (Begins walking away) “The least likely can be the most dangerous.”

"Dirty Work" w/ Richard Chang [2007-11-21]

Mike sez: "Always loved Repugnus with his Ronald McDonald-ass colors and his super-cool Transformers Universe profile. Back then, there weren't a lot of Autobots that were morally-dubious to the extent he was, so he always fascinated me. Someone eventually executed this story concept much better in a Mosaic piece titled "Double-O" that actually saw completion, only utilizing Tracks instead of Repugnus. Have no idea where the name "Manthaze-Zero" came from."

(Open on a view-screen, displaying the Autobot symbol.)

COMPUTER DIALOGUE: Incoming video transmission.

(The view-screen changes to an image of Repugnus from the chest-up, robot mode, wearing a half-smirk on his face. We cannot see who he is reporting to.)

VOICE: (Off-panel) You’re late.

REPUGNUS: (With a cocky grin) Sorry, got carried away. In any case, mission complete.

VOICE: I’ll need confirmation of that.

(Repugnus’s grin grows wider, he reaches down off-screen for a minute, then pulls up the severed head of a Decepticon- establish it’s a ‘Con by putting a tiny Decepticon symbol on the forehead or such. Optics gouged out, mech fluid still staining it, jaw hanging half off- this ‘Con did NOT die pretty.)

VOICE: Was that level of carnage necessary?

REPUGNUS: (Predatory smile) You shoulda seen what I did to the sub-commander…

VOICE: I’ll pass, thank you. Doesn’t it bother you at all?

REPUGNUS: Does it bother you?

VOICE: What?

REPUGNUS: (Still amused, but more subdued) I’ll freely admit to being something of a violent scumbag, but you…sanctioning these oh-so un-Autobot-like missions…that’s gotta eat at that squeaky-clean spark of yours.

VOICE: Some things simply need to be done. I’m willing to take responsibility.

REPUGNUS: (Wide feral grin again) And what about Prime? Does he know what you have me do?

VOICE: Assassination would seem…below us, to him. If he does know…he chooses not to acknowledge it. If he doesn’t…I’d rather keep it that way.

REPUGNUS: (Knowing look) Ashamed, are we?

VOICE: …We’ve spoken too long. Proceed to the next target. My information puts the next Decepticon unit on planet Manthaze-Zero. Infiltrate and eliminate.

REPUGNUS: (Mock two-fingered salute) Sure thing, “squeaky-clean”. I’ll be in touch.

(The video message cuts out. Next panel, a door is shown opening and Wheeljack sticks his head in a dark room.)

WHEELJACK: Ah, there you are. Prime wants us in the war room ASAP.

(We see Prowl sitting at a console where he just received Repugnus’ message. He gets up from his chair and walks to the door.)

PROWL: Thank you, Wheeljack.

WHEELJACK: No problem. Hey, what were you doing in here, anyway?

PROWL: Just…some work.

"The Hammer Falls" w/ Matt C. Adams [2008-05-30 (file date), 2008-10-11]

wada sez: Another one we have a bit of art for, in the form of a preview from Adams.

(Open on Ultra Magnus, standing with his arms behind his back, looking out a large window in his personal quarters on the Elite Guard's ship. We can see a bit of the Detroit skyline from our view of the window, and we get a look at the relatively-Spartan décor of his room. His "Thor" hammer is respectfully hung horizontally on a wall. Perhaps a G1-styled Magnus rifle is also hung on a wall, if the artist is feeling easter egg-inclined.)

(Next panel, close-up of Magnus's face, a stern expression. This panel bleeds into the next image-)

( -a "flashback" shot of Starscream blasting Magnus point-blank from the episode "Mission Accomplished".)

(Next panel, Magnus's hand touches his chest- his Elite Guard Autobot insignia, which still bears a tiny, but visible scorch mark from the attack.)

(Next panel, Magnus turns and touches a button on his desk- to activate a radio transmission.)

ULTRA MAGNUS: Jazz, have Optimus Prime report to the bridge. I’ve made a decision.

(Final panel- Magnus casts aside his doubts and sets his face into a mask of grim determination.)

ULTRA MAGNUS: It is time the Elite Guard lived up to its name.

"Motion" (Ironhide) w/ Rick van den Akker [2008-12-31]

Mike sez: "Ha, this one is kinda pretentious and probably unworkable in a single page without some severe editing. Maybe I was trying to be pretentious and "deep" on purpose, to balance out the actual content of the first Michael Bay movie, I dunno. Or maybe it's just that I always thought Movie Ironhide looked cool and that one scene this script references is a standout."

(The setting is the city battle at the end of the 2007 movie. Use the actual scene as reference- it should be on Youtube somewhere. Open on IRONHIDE, driving in truck mode down a busy street.)

IRONHIDE DIALOGUE BOX: This is where I live.

(Ironhide transforms and leaps into the air as two missiles (fired by Brawl, although we can’t see him yet) narrowly fly under him. Next panel, Ironhide flips upside-down and fires his own missile launchers into the ground- a crude means of propulsion.)

DIALOGUE BOX: I exist in the state of motion. Action and swift, violent reaction. When I’m motionless, things are gray and dead. When I enter my world, the vibrancy is intoxicating-- blinding.

(Ironhide lands from his flip and leaps again, over a screaming, terrified woman. More missiles pass in-between him and the ground. As he flips over the woman, he regards her for a split-second.)

DIALOGUE BOX: Those that pass through my world, albeit briefly, usually find no beauty, nor grace.

(Ironhide lands again and begins to dive forward and twists his body sideways as yet another missile sails by him. Ironhide briefly regards the missile as it misses him by inches.)

DIALOGUE BOX: I suppose it takes a certain type to find art in the trajectory of a well-aimed missile.

(Ironhide twists all the way around in mid-air and fires off one arm-mounted cannon after the other as he spins around.)

DIALOGUE BOX: This is where I live.

(Next panel, almost from Ironhide‘s perspective- the two bursts streak in and strike Brawl, who recoils from the impacts. Final panel, extreme close-up of Ironhide’s face and what could be considered a “smirk“ of sorts, from an odd angle, as if he’s still in mid-leap.)

DIALOGUE BOX: Welcome home, Ironhide.

"Mosai-Ick" (Thundercracker & Megatron) [2009-03-03]

Mike sez: "Good-natured (?) mockery of some common themes I felt popped up a lot in Mosaics. The caption box overload is probably a little too ambitious for a one-pager. Actually feels a little mean to me in the present, but eh, still makes me chuckle. This one was for me."

(FIRST PANEL; THUNDERCRACKER, standing amongst the ruins of what appears to be an Earth city. He looks ANGSTY.)

THUNDERCRACKER CAPTION BOX: I’m so conflicted.

(SECOND PANEL; A straight-forward shot of Thundercracker, still looking conflicted. The caption boxes surround him.)

THUNDERCRACKER CAPTION BOX: I’m so confused.

THUNDERCRACKER CAPTION BOX: I’m so misunderstood.

THUNDERCRACKER CAPTION BOX: I’m so apprehensive.

THUNDERCRACKER CAPTION BOX: I’m so…not into this.

(THIRD PANEL; Same exact shot from the second panel, but now Thundercracker is completely crowded in by caption boxes. They threaten to crowd him off the page.)

THUNDERCRACKER CAPTION BOX: I like humans.

CAPTION BOX: I hate humans.

CAPTION BOX: I’m loyal to Megatron.

CAPTION BOX: I have doubts in Megatron.

CAPTION BOX: Starscream’s cool.

CAPTION BOX: Starscream’s a jerk.

CAPTION BOX: Skywarp’s my best friend.

CAPTION BOX: Skywarp’s an idiot.

CAPTION BOX: Angst, angst, angst.

CAPTION BOX: Angstangstangstangstangstangst.

CAPTION BOX: Wonder where Prime’s trailer goes?

CAPTION BOX: Did I step in something?

CAPTION BOX: Wouldn’t it be cool if I switched sides?

CAPTION BOX: I’m Scourge.

CAPTION BOX: I’m Cyclonus.

CAPTION BOX: I’m Galvatron…wait, that doesn’t make sense.

(FOURTH PANEL; Same staging as the last two panels, but a massive energy blast has hit Thundercracker from behind, throwing him half out-of-panel. Humorously, the blast is also blowing away or shattering most of the random caption boxes from the last panel.)

(FIFTH PANEL; MEGATRON stepping on Thundercracker’s face-down form, looking angry, his fusion cannon smoking.)

MEGATRON: BLAH BLAH BLAH! SHUT UP!

MEGATRON: (Linked bubble) BE MORE AWESOME! LIKE ME!

MEGATRON: (Linked bubble) FOR EVERYTHING I DO IS AWESOME!

(SIXTH PANEL; Overhead shot of Megatron, still standing on Thundercracker’s downed form, with his arms upraised and screaming at the sky.)

MEGATRON: GAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRGH!!!

wada sez: Thanks to Mike for providing these scripts, and for all his support on the project!
